Taking Extra Safety Precautions

Due to COVID-19 the Timco team has implemented extra safety precautions in order to protect our workers, project partners and the public. Our updated safety guidelines have been developed in-line with recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the world health organization, OSHA, and the AGC. We are committed to protecting our employees, trade partners and the communities in which we serve. Following is a high-level overview of the actions we have put-in-place and are actively updating, adding to and improving upon as circumstances change.

All COVID-19 transmission and prevention protocols have been incorporated into every one of our job hazard analyses (JHAs) and pre-task safety plans. We are continually evaluating the specific hazards on each of our job sites along with the CDC recommendations to determine the most appropriate job hazard analysis for the project/task as it relates to the spread and/or transmission of COVID-19.

Employee Guidelines & Personal Responsibilities

Employees should not report to work if they are experiencing symptoms of acute respiratory illness (i.e., fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, body aches, chills, or fatigue), and should seek medical attention if they develop these symptoms. If symptoms arise, employee must stay home and should not return to work until free of symptoms for at least 72 hours.

If someone in your household gets sick or begins to show signs of symptoms, employee must immediately notify their supervisors and stay home. They must consult medical attention if they develop symptoms of acute respiratory illness.

To prevent transmission of the virus through the air through saliva or mucus, the CDC recommends maintaining a distance of 6 feet from another person. By maintaining a proper “social distance” of 6 feet from others, we will prevent transfer of the virus when someone coughs, sneezes or speaks.

Work in occupied areas should be limited to only those tasks that are strictly necessary. Limit physical contact with others. All employees will make a conscious effort to increase personal space (to at least 6 feet) whenever possible.

Out-of-office meetings will be limited to those necessary only and have been replaced with phone/online meetings.

Breaks and lunch shifts have been staggered to reduce the size of the group in the lunch area at any one time to less than 10 people.

Clean and disinfect break tables at the end of each break. Do not congregate in lunch / break or other social/communal areas.

Replace cabin air filters if you suspect they have been exposed or compromised by sick employee.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Gloves: Gloves should be worn at all times while on site. The type of glove worn should be appropriate to the task. If gloves are not typically required for the task, then any type of glove is acceptable, including latex gloves, nonsterile disposable.

Eye protection: Eye protection should be worn all times while on site.
